National Religious Party

The National Religious Party, also known by its Hebrew acronym of Mafdal, is a conservative and religious Zionist political party in Israel that was founded in 1956. The party advocated for religious conservatism, settler interests, and a greater Israeli country, and it was a part of every governmental coalition until 1992. The party was originally a centrist party, but its views shifted to the right over the years, and its Knesset seat count slumped to just 3 in 2006. In 2008, much of the party joined The Jewish Home party.
